Yesterday was hatching day for our 36 coturnix quail eggs at school. One hatched sometime last night, but I don't see any signs of more eggs hatching! There is no pips or cracks that I can see on any eggs. The poor little guy is chirping his head off! Do you think any more will hatch? How long should I leave the eggs in there, it's already a day past hatching time. I'm just worried he's going to be all by himself! Any advice? Thanks!
P.S. The temperature has been stable at 99 F and the humidity has overall been really stable too around 40-50% and I raised it up to 60% for lockdown. The eggs have been in an automatic turner for the first 15 days too. The only thing that I am a little worried about is when I had to move the incubator, all the eggs were rolling around and hitting the sides. There was no obvious cracks, I just hope there's no internal damage.

While I was helping him hatch another chick just popped out! I am going to leave the incubator running for a few more days because this isn't even a 20% hatch rate! And I spent quite a bit of money on these eggs. But who knows, maybe the eggs are just a bit behind schedule.
